This past Saturday, we celebrated our 30th anniversary—three decades of partnership, shared laughter, and a lot of life lessons. Thinking back, one of the most meaningful lessons my wife taught me early on was in a simple moment over a pizza.
We were down to two uneven slices, and I instinctively asked, "Which piece do you want?"
"Let's cut them evenly instead," she smiled, reminding me to look beyond what was in front of us.
I fetched the cutter, still seeing only those uneven slices. "I'll try to match them up," I said.
But she had another idea. "Why not make two perfect halves each?"
That’s her way—seeing beyond what's there and envisioning something better.
While I was ready to accept the obvious, she thought, “What else is possible?”
Reflecting on these 30 years together, I’m grateful for her everyday genius, her way of turning simple moments into reminders of how much more is possible.
Here’s to many more years of learning and growing together, with love and a bit of pizza wisdom along the way. Thanks, Neesh.
